The advice I see most on these forums from current/past ROTC members is to select a major that you have a passion for, because selecting a technical major that you have no interest in just to fluff up your application will lead to burnout in college. I have no interest in studying any Tier 1 or 2 majors, as I want to study history or business/econ, and I was wondering if my application has a chance of being successful despite selecting a Tier 3 major. Also, Aviation is my desired field.
I am a National Merit Semifinalist, have a 4.21 Weighted GPA, 3.8 Unweighted GPA, and a 1500 non-superscored SAT (770 English, 730 Math). I am a 3-year varsity wrestling letterman and member of the National Honor Society. I have 15 volunteer hours in both 9th and 10th grade, and 164 in 11th grade, and I expect to have around 164 hours in 12th grade. I have been preparing for my interview by reading the advice posted on this forum and elsewhere. Is this enough to get me a scholarship with a Tier 3 major?
Thanks
